cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8

assuming you have a .config there reflecting the options you want, do
this:

cp .config oldconfig
make mrproper
cp oldconfig .config
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules

make modules_install
copy the System.map, vmlinux and arch/i386/boot/bzImage to /boot (call the
latter vmlinuz).

edit lilo.conf or grub.conf to know about this new kernel.

build openafs against these kernel headers, which now reflect what you
will be running.

It's the disappearance of them which is probably the problem.
